Get your fill of Playground Mode in Fortnite

After some technical issues with Fortnite's Playground mode the mode as met with positive results from the community. Giving players the freedom to test their skills and learn the map but Epic has announced the mode will end this Thursday, July 12th.

Epic has confirmed the mode will return some time later with a new version but didn't reveal when. The company has expressed interest in making it a permanent mode as opposed to limited time.

Heya folks,

We appreciate all of the awesome feedback we’ve received and are beginning work on the next version of Playground. We’ll be turning off the Playground LTM on Thursday, July 12th as we take it back under construction for the next version.

For the next version of Playground we’re hoping to include functionality that would allow team selection options within the Playground itself. Here’s a few things you would gain with the ability to select teams:

1v1s and 2v2s

Aim assist for controllers

Editing other player’s structures

Traps affecting teammates/enemies correctly

Highlighting teammates on the map

Damaging enemies with your pickaxe

The Playground LTM represents our first step into what a full creative mode looks like in Fortnite. And remember, you will have until the release of v5.0 to access your Playground LTM replays.

Thank you and let us know what else you’d love to see in a future version!

Fortnite is now available in early access on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS devices. An Android version is coming later this summer.
